631 how to make silk cloth The first diagram illustrates the life cycle of the silkworm, which are basically four stages. First of fall, the moth would lay some eggs on leaves, where those eggs become silkworm larva and feed on the mulberry leaf after 10 days. Then, it takes 4 to 6 weeks for the larva to make silk thread to cover their bodies. Three to eight days later, in the following stage, silk thread folds the whole body of larva and we call it a cocoon, which would become a moth after 16 days.

Quality cocoons are then selected and boiled in water. What follows is to unwind the cocoon to 300 to 900 metres thread, which would be twisted and weaved to be production of silk cloth, which would eventually be dyed into different colors according to the need.

Overall, it takes nearly to get a cocoon and much effort to produce silk cloth.
